AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I've been pretty disappointed with Tino TBH, maybe my expectations were too high. His defending is solid but he's so average going forward. That said, we won't change him so I'm hoping we get a chance to see him play with a proper technical RW next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Sorry, I just dont rate him......he seems more interested in keeping his quiff in place than making his presence felt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 his defending 1v1 is very good (although hasn't been as good as last season), but positionally he's not particularly good. He has to improve in a lot of areas to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 He hit the byline yesterday and put in a great cross for Willock on his left foot (think it was Tino?). Throughout game he was taking players on, like the little dink over Minteh. Confidence levels were high and I 100% believe it's having a top player like Gordon in front of him. Top players bounce off one another, just don't need to think. Can't be understated that despite Murphy uses and output this season, it's no where near Gordon intelligence and overall ability.

Yeah, my hope is that he progresses next season with a technical RW coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Despite being way behind the rest of the others and switching off for their winning goal, thought he was one of our better players yesterday. He was clearly shattered by that point. In a strange way I'd feel more confident with him defensively up against Salah than Hall. Just from a pure 1v1 aspect, not from all the other elements Hall brings to the side that we will miss. But that means Trippier on the other side and I can see Diaz or Gakpo having him on toast unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roids Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Put an RW with real quality in front of him and watch him shine, you guys underplay the importance of team dynamics. He's a stud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) So frustratingly not on the same wavelength as anyone around him going forward to often, needs to improve in this aspect. Whether he plays on the right or the left it’s a consistent issue. He is defensively talented but we have not extracted enough of him in the final third yet, there must be more to come from him.

Jinky Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago No confidence on the overlap....always turns it back in-field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) Yeah Tino is always looking to be positive which I appreciate and he does create so much space for us, but it always just seems to die out Edited 21 hours ago by andyc35i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago He is so confident one v one defending and he is actually great driving with the ball. But going forward, he has become one of our worst players this season. Looks scared to do anything, so often doesn’t. Not the same as I remember last season. Always on his heels and like he is disconnected from it all and not paying attention. Hopefully he can find his rhythm a bit before Sunday. We’re going to need him defensively.

timeEd32 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I feel like the only version of attacking play he's comfortably with is dribbling towards the goal. But when that's not an option (and it's usually not for a fullback) then he greatly struggles with decision making and then, bizarrely, if he does make the right decision he often loses all technical ability in those moments.

Gola Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago He's not a left back so always gonna look poor when he can't even cross with his right foot. Still a top player and will be our right back for years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago He looks clumsy on the ball a lot. Of course not his fault he can’t really cross with his left, he’s a right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago He can be frustrating even at right back but won't judge too harshly with him on the left. Especially when Hall is the comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Such a great defender 1v1 his timing is immaculate, his positioning is stilla bit iffy but the main issue has to be the overlap, why is he so scared to dink one into the box? Always looking to cut back and play it back infield and has slowed down a few counters that should have amounted to more. Really needs to work on his attacking game but he's still learning, I have every confidence in Howe to bring him on again. Just a little disappointed after last season he seems to have regressed slightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago He did well in defense and poor in attack, so a typical Tino performance, but i'm happy with him on the left for the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I think 1 on 1 defensively he’s excellent and can shut down the best but going forward he’s sloppy as anything a lot of the time. Headless chicken then just losing the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless chicken then just losing the ball. Doesn't help he's played on the left and basically refuses/can't use his left foot. He got into some decent positions tonight for a cross into the box but kept cutting back and looking for the pass.

TRon Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Think we'd have been served better getting Targett match fit for the final, but it is what it is. Tino is still great defensively, and he was showing for the ball all night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
